The MENTOR™ PliaForm™ Breast Tissue Expander w/ Suture Tabs can be utilized for breast reconstruction after mastectomy, correction of an underdeveloped breast, scar revision and tissue defect procedures. The expander is intended for temporary subcutaneous or submuscular implantation and is not intended for use beyond six months.
The PliaForm™ Breast Tissue Expander w/ Suture Tabs is designed for breast reconstruction, designed for thinner components and a reduction of reinforcement features and minimized insertion profile. The integrated port design consists of a plastic needle guard and a smaller magnetic element to improve MR compatibility (MR Conditional). The next generation design control technology (DCT) facilitates predictable expansion and is shape-optimized to better match the entire implant portfolio. An improved Bufferzone features a new sheeting-based self-sealing technology that offers protection from inadvertent needle punctures across the entire coverage area, and a more flexible design, which improves the overall device flexibility. An internally fixated injection port reduces device bulkiness. The injection port will incorporate a new plastic needle guard with a silicone backing and smaller magnet with reduced magnetic field strength compared to the Artoura™ breast tissue expander devices. This feature reduction improves device compatibility with MR-CT imaging, and external beam radiation (such as photon beam).
Identification of the injection port site is accomplished by use of the CENTERSCOPE™ 2.0 Magnetic Injection Port Locator, which is provided with the Tissue Expander. When the Centerscope™ 2.0 device is placed on top of the skin, the magnetic arm points to the center of the tissue expander's injection port. Injections into the injection port area are made using the provided infusion needle set to inject sterile, pyrogen-free Sodium Chloride U.S.P. Solution.
The MENTOR™ PliaForm™ Breast Tissue Expander w/ Suture Tabs incorporates suture tabs to provide surgeons with the option to attach the device to surrounding tissue for enhanced device stability.
The MENTOR™ PliaForm™ Breast Tissue Expander w/ Suture Tabs are provided sterile in three styles (Low Height, Medium Height, and Tall Height) and various sizes.
The following accessories are packaged with the MENTOR™ PliaForm™ Breast Tissue Expander w/ Suture Tabs:

No new mechanical testing was conducted for this submission. |
Puncture Integrity | Self-sealing technology (BUFFERZONE™) | Minimize and/or prevent leakage in the event of an accidental needle puncture. | The device incorporates a BUFFERZONE™ area with self-sealing technology to minimize and/or prevent leakage. Filling is achieved via an integral injection dome with needle guard. | Not explicitly described as a new study for this submission; is a design feature identical to the predicate. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
No new test set was used for this 510(k) submission. The submission relies on the established performance of the predicate device (K241918) and the equivalence of the materials and design. The change is solely to expand the lower limit of the fill volume range.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications:
Not applicable, as no new clinical or performance test set was described for this specific submission. The submission leverages the prior clearance of predicate devices, which would have undergone their own testing and validation processes.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
Not applicable, as no new test set requiring expert adjudication was described for this specific submission.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done:
No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This device is a breast tissue expander, not a diagnostic imaging AI algorithm that would typically be evaluated with MRMC studies.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done:
Not applicable, as this is a physical medical device (breast tissue expander), not an algorithm or AI software.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:
For the original predicate device clearances on which this submission relies, the ground truth for mechanical performance would have been established through objective measurement of physical properties and performance benchmarks (e.g., pressure testing, leak testing) according to ASTM standards. Biocompatibility ground truth would be established through established biological evaluation tests based on ISO 10993.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:
Not applicable, as this is a physical medical device, not an AI algorithm requiring a training set.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:
Not applicable, as this is a physical medical device, not an AI algorithm requiring a training set.
Summary of the Study Proving the Device Meets Acceptance Criteria for this specific 510(k):
The submission for the Mentor™ CPX™4 PLUS Enhance Breast Tissue Expander with fill volumes from 850cc to 1445cc does not describe new studies or new acceptance criteria. Instead, it presents a special 510(k) where the core argument for meeting acceptance criteria is that:
- Identical Technology and Materials: The proposed device has the same scientific technology, principles of operation, intended use, indications for use, and all patient contact materials as the cleared predicate device (K241918).
- Worst-Case Mechanical Testing Already Performed: Previous mechanical testing on the predicate device (K241918) was conducted at the maximum labeled fill volume of 1445cc. This volume represents the "worst case" for overexpansion and bladder leak testing, as it results in the most internal pressure.
- No Impact of Lower Fill Volume: Reducing the lower limit fill volume from 930cc to 850cc does not adversely affect the mechanical performance (overexpansion and bladder leak) already demonstrated at the worst-case 1445cc. Therefore, no new mechanical testing was deemed necessary.
- Established Biocompatibility: Since all patient contact materials are identical to the predicate device, which has already established biocompatibility, no new biocompatibility testing was required for this submission.
In essence, the "study" proving the device meets acceptance criteria for this particular submission is the analysis of device equivalence and the justification that prior testing on the predicate device at its most challenging parameters (highest fill volume) sufficiently covers the slightly expanded range offered by the subject device (lower fill volume).

For temporary (less than six months) subcutaneous or submuscular implantation to develop surgical flaps and additional tissue coverage required in a wide variety of applications, particularly to aid in reconstruction following mastectomy, to aid in the treatment of underdeveloped breasts and to aid treatment of soft tissue deformities.
The Motiva Flora® SmoothSilk® Tissue Expander (MFSTE) is intended for temporary subcutaneous or submuscular implantation to develop surgical flaps and additional tissue coverage and is not intended for use beyond six (6) months. All MFSTEs require periodic, incremental inflation with sterile saline for injection until the desired tissue expansion is developed. Once the desired tissue expansion is achieved, the tissue expander is surgically removed and a breast implant is inserted within the breast pocket.
The MFSTE is constructed of successive cross- linked layers of silicone elastomer with an Integrated Injection Port system for incremental expander filling. The Tissue Expanders are available in a range of sizes to meet diverse patient needs and achieve individualized aesthetic results. The MFSTE has a controlled surface architecture produced by the mandrel imprinting technique with an average roughness of 4 microns. Each MFSTE is supplied sterile.
The injection port is dome-shaped with a radiofrequency identification (RFID) coil embedded in the needle stop. This needle stop prevents inadvertent puncture through the base of the injection port during the filling process.
The injection port is found with the Motiva Flora® Port Locator accessory through the air wound coil's RFID signal placed inside the needle stop. The RFID wireless system comprises two components: the tag and the reader. The Motiva Flora® Port Locator (the reader) has antennas that emit radio waves and receive the signal coming from the RFID coil tag in the needle stop to locate the center of the injection port. The user interface of the Motiva Flora® Port Locator includes LED lights to guide the user during the process. This is an innovative technology not available in other tissue expanders on the market.
In addition, the RFID transponder functions as a traceability feature, which provides a unique electronic serial number (ESN) for each expander. The ESN allows access to a database with the device information (serial and lot number, size, projection, model, manufacturing date, etc.).
Additional design features of the MFSTE include a non-ferromagnetic component design that allows the device to be used with Magnetic Resonance (MR) and Computerized Tomography (CT) under certain conditions.
The MFSTE includes six (6) fixation tabs (TrueFixation®) to provide the surgeon options to suture the tissue expander in the breast pocket. Another design feature is its reinforced base.
The provided text describes a medical device, the Motiva Flora® SmoothSilk® Tissue Expander, and the studies conducted to demonstrate its substantial equivalence to a predicate device for FDA 510(k) clearance.

Disinfection & Reuse: | |
Multi-patient use with disinfection capability | Can be disinfected between uses for multi-patient reuse (using 70% IPA wipe) |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
- Sample size: Not specified. The document only mentions "Design verification tests" and "Software Verification and Validation testing."
- Data provenance: Not specified. These would be laboratory-based verification and validation data, likely from internal testing at Sientra, Inc.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
- This information is not provided. Since clinical testing was not performed, "experts" in the context of establishing clinical ground truth (e.g., radiologists) would not be applicable here. Ground truth would likely be based on engineering specifications and direct measurement/observation in a lab setting.
4. Adjudication method for the test set
- Not specified. Given the nature of bench and software testing, a formal adjudication process like 2+1 or 3+1 would not typically be used. Testing would likely involve comparing device output against known inputs or expected behaviors.
5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
- No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. The document explicitly states, "Clinical testing was not necessary to demonstrate substantial equivalence of Portfinder to the predicate device." The device is a port detector, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool for human readers.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- Yes, a form of standalone performance was assessed. The "Software Verification and Validation testing" and "Design verification tests" would evaluate the device's performance independently, without human interaction in a clinical setting, to ensure it met its operational requirements. The device itself is described as a "standalone port detection device."
7. The type of ground truth used
- Engineering specifications and known physical properties/measurements. For functional testing, ground truth would be established by the known location of the tissue expander ports in test setups. For software testing, the ground truth would be defined by the expected behavior and outputs based on software requirements.
8. The sample size for the training set
- Not applicable as this is not an AI/machine learning device that requires a training set in the conventional sense. The software mentioned is likely embedded control software, not a learning algorithm.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Not applicable (see point 8).

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
Not applicable. There is no training set for this type of device.
Summary of the Study:
The document describes a series of non-clinical bench tests rather than a clinical study. These tests were performed to demonstrate that the Unger Quad Injector is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices, primarily the McGhan Tissue Expander Fill System (K870754).
The specific non-clinical tests conducted include:
- Pre-clinical Investigational Evaluation of Tissue Expander Inter-operative Filling Device
- Quad Injector Flow Rate Comparison
- Unger Quad Injector Bioburden Test
- Unger Quad Injector Endotoxin Test
- Unger Quad Injector Bioburden Validation Test
- Shelf Life / Expiration Dating – Aging Testing
- ISO 7864 Hub Needle Bond Strength
- ISO 7864 and ISO 9626 Conformance
Purpose of the Studies: The main purpose was to verify the equivalence of the Unger Quad Injector's performance, safety, and specifications with the predicate devices, and to ensure conformance with relevant ISO standards.
Conclusion from the Studies: The data from these tests "supports a finding of substantial equivalence because the data demonstrates that the Unger Quad Injector is safely and effectively indicated for use as the 'needle infusion set' component... Testing results demonstrate the filling, sealing capability and leakage prevention as compared to lawfully marketed predicate devices. Performance testing results also demonstrate safety and efficacy in terms of biocompatibility, sterilization, shelf life, and general device performance."
No clinical tests were conducted. The device's safety and effectiveness were established through comparison of its technological characteristics and performance in bench tests to those of existing, legally marketed devices.
